Chahal hired a PR agency to handle the press around his arrest. A statement was quickly released in which Chahal's lawyer announced that the charges were "simply wrong" and the allegations "overblown... Even before the arraignment today, the young woman voluntarily asked the charges be dropped, met with the prosecution, and provided photographic proof of an unblemished complexion to SFPD authorities."

Chahal, who's currently CEO of social retargeting firm RadiumOne, was known for his intentionally high profile lifestyle. He appeared not only on Oprah — where he discussed that a Lamborghini is "fun for the first day" but then gets kind of old — but also "Secret Millionaire" and "Extra," which named him one of "America's Most Eligible Bachelors."
